Pantaleo Corvino: Stevan Jovetic Is Fiorentina’s Future

Fiorentina director Pantaleo Corvino believes Stevan Jovetic will excel at the club, claiming a long-term association with the youngster is likely.

It was Corvino who snatched Jovetic from under the noses of both Manchester United and Real Madrid in 2008. On Tuesday, the player’s agent claimed he was worth €25 million, but price-tags are not of interest to Corvino, who believes the Montenegrin will be in Florence for the long-term.

“Having got to Jovetic first is a big satisfaction,” the director told Tuttosport.

“Will I keep Jovetic? Yes, because there aren’t many like Jovetic in football. He has feelings and, when the moment comes, we will not disappoint him.”

Fiorentina clash with Juventus on Saturday evening and the playmaker is expected to start.
